Ott i.?The Huston Americana overthrew the New York Nationals by a score of 4 to 3 t?>day before more than 36.000 people In the first game of the world's series. The contest was nip und tuck all the way. The Olants made a thrilling rally In the ninth inning, when they nearly tied the score, but "Smokey'' Wood's bewildering speed turned two Giant batters back to the bench on strikes for the last two putouts and the Bed 8ox carried off the honors. When victory perched on the ban? ners of the Bed Sox post, the Boston delegation marched scross the field and Msyor Fitzgerald of Boston, who was a guest of Mayor Gaynor, led In the cheers for the players of both tea ma Oov. Poss of Vlassachusets and Oev. Tener of Pennsylvnla saw the contest. Barely. If ever, has any worlds series game provided such s dramatic finish. Two runs behind In the ninth, the Oisnt s .pporters had given up hope. Hundreds were leaving the stands when Merkle sent a single whittling to the outfield, after one man was out. Even then the chance of tying the score seemed remote, but a Texas leaguer by Hersog, followed quickly by a hit by Myers wh|sh sent Merkle home, put the stands In a flame Of excitement. With Giants on second end third, thousands stood in their seats and yelled. Fletcher swung his bat ner? vously at the plate, while Joe Wood, white of face, seemed anxious. The Red fox twlrler patted the grase, hitched his belt, rubbed the ball, and adjusted his csp. - his delay seemed to unsettle Fletcher and he swung futilely st Woods fast breaking shoots three times and went back to j the bench. Craadall. a strong man In the pinches, came up. Wood put over two strikes and then three ball?. The Red Sox twlrler then shot over a high fast Inshoot. Crsndall missed and the game was over. It was a battle of managerial wits In the selection of pitchers. Manager McGrsw pinned his faith In Tesreau, sed the Osark bear hunter held the Red Box hltlees until the sixth Inning, when Speaker's long triple broke the lee. Tesreau weakened In the seventh Inning, snd before the fu si lade of Boston hits was over three scores were made and the Red Sox had a Wad of two runs. Mansgher Stahl placed his star pitcher. Joe Wood, en the mound, and In only two Innings was the Red Sox moundsman hit hard and his daasling speed continued undlmlntshed until the last man bad struck out. Wood fanned 11 batters.

Recently there hnve been a num? ber of in inirh'H in regard t<? alfalfa received at this office. Our experi? ments with this crop Will not warrant our recommending it al ? safe one for this State. Our soils can he made to grow it and it is being done in sev? eral teeth ns of the State, with fairly good results, but the large number Of tnllurei and the cost of producing it are drawbacks to success with this crop. Th? farmer can rely with more ceriainty on cowpeas, sorghum and ; eaj ami Kits and vetch. With these crops he can secure better results, and with less cost. For those who are contemplating the growing of alfalfa, one of the best ways of getting results is to start pre? paring the land at least one year pre? vious to the time of sowing the seed. Unless the land is rich, well drained, and free from weed and grass seed, it will not he profitable to sow alfalfa, in the full, break the land deep, and apply a ton of lime per acre, harrow? ing this In well. In about one week apply stable manure at the rate of tlve to ten tons per acre, and harrow I this in. Then, during some moist pe [ rlod in September, or October, the earlier the beter, sow bur clover, crimson clover or vetch, inoculating the seed when sown or use soil from the field where the crop has been grown successfully. Use a liberal amount of complete fertilizer at this time. in the spring as soon as the crop is taken from the land, plow it deep ,and thoroughly again, and apply 1,000 pounds of lime. Sow cow peas broadcast, and give a liberal ap? plication of a complete fertilizer. Do not apply stable manure at this time, as It will serve to spread weed and grass seed. The stand of peas should be thick In order that the weeds and grass will not get started. In the fall cut the peas for hay and plow the land shallow, or If it is a light sandy loam, discing is all that is necessary. Apply lime again at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre and harrow it in. Alfalfa should not he sown on a loose and dry seed bed. Sow the seed dur? ing some moist period between the last of September and the middle of October, at the rate of 25 pounds per acre broadcast, and harrow them In lightly. Inoculating will be necessary and can he done either by Inoculating the seed with Farmogerm before sowing, or by applying two hundred pounds of soil from an old alfalfa field broadcast per acre. Farmogerm will give good results if used proper? ly. Use as fertilizer at the time of planting about 200 pounds of com? plete fertilizer, harrowing It in with the seed. If one wishes to plant alfalfa with? out goln.r to the trouble of starting one year early and getting the land In good condition, we would suggest that land which has been in cowpeas, or some clean cultivated crop, be used. Break the land deep and thor? oughly, t.nd apply lime at the rate of 200 pourds or more per acre. Do not apply any stable manure unless it is thoroughly decomposed and free from wei;d and grass seed. Otherwise the sowing Of the seed should be done In the fall, the same as In the above dt scribed method. In the spring If weed and grass get started In the held, It should be mow? ed as often as necessary in order that they do not get ahead of alfalfa. Un? der no circumstances should weeds and grass he allowed to mature seed In the field. Where there are no weeds and grass to give troublo, cut? tings should be made as often as the plants are In full bloom or little be? fore. F, O. Tarbox. Jr. Assistant to Agronomist.
